Hermès... The All-Things Hermès Handbags Thread

[seahorseinstripe]

i'm thinking toward purchasing a kelly in the future, birkin is beautiful but it just doesn't suit my everyday style.
and lindy's been getting a lot of my attention as well

I wanted to post this for anyone who'll be in London next week...

"....womenswear, menswear and accessories at mind blowing discounts"

 

[Kora]

I wonder what type of discounts they're going to be? any more info?

 

[FashionJunkie]

there are crocodiles on the Himalayas???

Yes, there are!

I have to admit the himalayan crocodile Birkin is by far the most beautiful.

This winter i will go to the Hermes boutique and i will put myself on the waiting list for a Birkin !! Don't know how long it will take though...

What do you guys think? Black, beige or red? Black all time classic, beige very elegant, red eye-catching and also white is beautiful but it will get stained easily...

 

[LondonSam]

I would go for black!! Fingers crossed it comes soon for you!

 

[loves]

i would go etoupe or beige

omg until i came on this thread i totally forgot the sample sale was happening and missed out on it...and now this thread just reminded me.im kinda mad at myself now!!!


i think iam going to wait till i am at least 30 to start saving up for a birkin..or at least i wont have to saveup then and i can just go out and get one!

long time since i visited this thread!! are ppl still buying hermes bags with the economy?

i ordered a special color combo bag almost a year ago, my sa contacted me in march told me leather department cant do it, so I had to pick a different color combo or just a plain violet 40cm birkin...she said it should be ready by end of summer....I'll update you guys when i get it.....

 

[leyla m.]

i am still debating what colour i want. right now it is a potiron kelly with gold hardware.
no more birkin for me.. they are after all not super practical but i still love mine...

uniq,
purple sounds devine!

that combo sounds good for a kelly.. i love potiron!

what size kelly are you going to get?

 

[leyla m.]

not sure yet about the size. i would guess the common size which is...?

 

[Grill]

The classic size is the 32cm - it can work as both a day and evening bag with ease. Compared to a 35 cm birkin it doesn't hold that much though if you're used to toting quantities.

I have a 32cm Kelly and I love it but am thinking of getting another larger one in future - most likely a 35cm as I think the 40 cm would be huge on me.

I love my Kelly especially as it has the convenience of the shoulder strap - its great on hot sunny days when you don't want to be hand carrying a heavy bag.

Here is a pic of my new 35 cm, crocodile Birkin in dark brown with gold hardware.
It was a present from my father for my 20th birthday.

 

[leyla m.]

thanks grill
i just dont want it too big so i think 32 cm is perfect !

dana,
CONGRATS!! ! that is hot stuff

 

[Grill]

Beautiful bag DANA! I'm sure you'll get a lot of use out of her - it's good you live in Qatar - as you don't have to worry too much about rain damaging your croc! enjoy!

Leyla - do you think you'll place an order for your new Kelly or try and pick one up direct from H stocks?

 

[leyla m.]

grill,

well i am thinking of specific bright colors like orange so if they dont have it i'll order/reserve one... but i seriously should wait a while as i have so many new bags !!

 

[D A N A]

Leyla, Grill..thanks so much

 

[PursePrincess]
